Pixies

[Revol]

Any fans?

 

[Uncleskinny]

Damn Straight. There have not been many albums better than Doolittle. They're all good (Surfer Rosa a close second). Oh yes.

[Skinner]

Hell Yes!

Yeah Doolittle is class.

 

[Oh my god. it's Robby!]

love em, have seen em live and think Frank Black is a true hero
also, who doesnt adore a female bass player like

Kim Deal

 

[Raised on prisoner's aid]

Oh yes.

A great great band

I used to be a massive nirvana fan, thinking they were the be-all and end-all of grunge.
Then I found the Pixies. Haven't touched a Nirvana album since.

I love 'The Happening' especially the end refrain
'I was driving doing nothing on the shores of great salt lake,
when they put it on the air I put it in the hammer lane.....'

Tis very true!

 

[swansong]

Ohhh yeahhhhh!

 

[Uncleskinny]

Prepare to have your eardrums and retinas (retinae?) scarred for life, as we have...



No - I'm being unfair. He does a surprisingly good job.

Fan here! love the band. one of the greatest gigs ive been to was the pixies at manchester 2005. shame they won't do another tour together...

 

[Mozzy1]

Seen them on one of their 4 sold-out shows at the Susquehanna (formerly Tweeter Center) in Camden, NJ a few years ago. It rocked.

I love their realism in their style not only through themselves but, through their music.

Velouria is my favorite track.

 

[I am a Ghost]

Wonderful band.

Frank Black/Black Francis solo stuff is great too.

 

[Raised on prisoner's aid]

I really recommend watching loudQuietloud- a documentary about the pixies latest reforming.

Man that band had issues!

Wish I could have seen them live

 

[CharlieFairhead]

'Trompe le Monde' i really grew to love.

 

[Revol]

First year they I went to Leeds festival they played. But I didn't go the day they were on.


Doolittle - Second best album of 1989.

 

[theneverplayedsymphony]

They are an easy band to love even if you just skim over them, but when you listen properly, they're easily obsessed over.

 

[Practising Troublemaker]

I just listened to La La Love You and Gigantic on the way back up from Thorn Lane mate.

Love PTxx.
